HOW KIVA WORKS


“IT’S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE LOAN. IT HAD BEEN A DREAM OF MINE
TO HAVE A BUSINESS SELLING COLOMBIAN EMPANADAS... I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THIS A
REALITY.”

— Laura, Kiva Borrower


Laura, Restaurant owner, Ecuador

1. Discover Find borrowers like Laura and her husband, Walcenibier, who need a
loan to grow their empanada business

2. Crowdfund Lend money as low as $25 through Kiva to help them fund their loan

3. Get repaid After Laura and Walcenibier use the loan, they are able to pay
their lenders back

4. Relend Recycle the funds and lend to a new borrower to help them with their
project

OUR COMMITMENT


100% OF YOUR LOAN GOES TOWARD SUPPORTING BORROWERS.


WHY LENDING?

If you needed to buy a delivery truck for your business, you probably wouldn’t
ask for donations; you’d apply for a loan.

But what about the billion people without access to traditional finance? That's
where you—and Kiva—come in. Kiva loans give people the power and resources to
build the life they choose. By crowdfunding smaller amounts—called microloans—we
can help more borrowers get funded.

With Kiva, you can use the same dollars again and again, helping a new borrower
each time your loan is repaid. Your same $25 could help someone open a salon,
support a child’s education, invest in community solar panels, and so on!


HOW DOES KIVA MAKE MONEY?

We cover most of our operating costs through voluntary donations made by Kiva
lenders. As a 501(c)3 U.S. nonprofit, the remainder of our costs are covered
through grants and donations from foundations and supporters. Additionally,
select lending partners contribute small platform fees as we continue building
innovative technologies that help create a more financially inclusive world.

Kiva never takes a fee from lenders. 100% of funds lent on Kiva go to funding
loans.


DO KIVA BORROWERS PAY ANY INTEREST ON THEIR LOANS?

Kiva partners with microfinance institutions, nonprofits, and other
organizations to disburse loans in the communities we serve.

Most borrowers do pay interest to these local lending partners to help cover
their operation costs. We verify that these rates are appropriate for the region
and we only choose partners who have fair, non-predatory lending practices and
prioritize social good.

Some borrowers funded through Kiva do receive 0% interest loans, including most
direct loans, which are loans not made through a local lending partner.


Juliana, Fruit and vegetable seller, Ghana


OVER 4 MILLION BORROWERS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INVESTED IN THEIR FUTURE BY STARTING
NEW BUSINESSES, EXPANDING EXISTING ONES, AND IMPROVING THEIR COMMUNITIES. THIS
IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF OUR KIVA COMMUNITY OF OVER 2 MILLION LENDERS WHO HAVE
LENT $1.76 BILLION. KIVA LOANS LEAD TO LONG-TERM CHANGE. THE PROOF IS IN THE 96%
REPAYMENT RATE.




Eufemia, store owner, dominican republic

"If I hadn’t taken those loans, my business would have never grown. I have a
family to provide to, it takes money. And so, with these loans, I was able to
keep my family afloat.”
